Blind with Hope
When Came April Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED THAT
EXACTLY THOSE THINGS MAKE YOU SAD
THAT BROUGHT A BIG SMILE
ON YOUR FACE ONCE AGO

HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT THAT YOU
ARE ABLE TO HATE SOMEONE WHO
YOU HELD IN YOUR ARMS
TO WARM EVENTUALLY

I'M STARING
AT THE CEILING
AS I THINK ABOUT
MY LIFE AND THIS FEELING

MARK MY WORDS
IT'S AMAZING
HOW HAPPY YOU GET
WHEN YOUR LAST HOPE IS LEAVING

I HATE MY-
SELF BECAUSE I
AM FOOLED BY MY HOPE
DECEIVED BY MY DREAMS TILL I'LL DIE

THINGS YOU HELD YOU THROW A AWAY
WERE SO IMPORTANT TILL THAT DAY




GAVE RISE TO TEARS
YOU DON'T MIND ANYMORE
